So apparently Karla 'wasn't feeling too well' and 'needed some time away from it all' and whatever other rubbish Merlin had been spouting. Arthur still thought this was the worst bloody idea since that time he shot that unicorn. No good would come of it.

In the end, Merlin had insisted, and in the end, Arthur had very grudgingly capitulated, but not before setting up a list of rules for the little witch that reached roughly the size of a small mountain. 'Do not spend more than ten hours a day in the castle', for example, and 'only speak when spoken to' and 'for god's sake, do NOT do that thing you do, you know the one I'm talking about'.

There was also something in there about the proper cut and hemline of servants' dresses, just in case she decided to try and tempt any of the knights. (He had compromised on the list! Look, wear a shapeless sack had been scratched out! As had pretend to be a bag of potatoes!)

Arthur liked being thorough.

Which was also why he'd invited two other people who had a bit more experience dealing with these issues. Just to be certain.

"At least he trusts you and Francine a bit?" Oh, Merlin. "After all this time."

Merlin stared for a moment before clearing his throat. "North. You know, it might work better to say you're from Ealdor."

"Even from what little I know, he sounds like a real piece of work," Karla said, her voice low. "And I can't say I'm all too keen on his views of magic, but then, I wouldn't be, would I? I'm just glad to be away for a bit."

Karla's expression soured. "So glad you're in a cheerful mood, my lord," she drawled.

Merlin just raised an eyebrow at that. Someone was spending too much time around Gaius.

They could be north of North Umbria! She didn't know!

"Okay. Where's that?" Maybe she could get a map? "I just want to know in case someone asks!"

"It's about two day's ride east of here," Merlin replied easily. "It's a tiny village and I'm the only person from there, so no one will think twice if you're a bit... odd."

"She'll do just fine," Merlin insisted. "As long as she goes nowhere near the king."

"I'm not odd!" Karla protested! "I'm perfectly normal!"

...For her crazyass canon world. Except, not really.

"Do you think we'll have a chance to visit?" she asked, rather than continue to argue for her so-called normalcy. "I'd love to meet your mother."

"I'm telling her you said that." Merlin, don't be cruel. "It's the nicest thing I've heard you say about her."

Eh! Karla wouldn't complain.

"And you were worried," she said. "Don't you know, Arthur? I'm just full of surprises."

And then she smiled at him. Winningly.

"I will even watch her sleep," Merlin promised.

"If we can talk Arthur into a trip away from the castle without him horrifying about something horrible attacking..."

Look, it happened a lot.

"He says, after inviting us for a visit," Katchoo couldn't help pointing out. "All the peacefulness hasn't had you climbing the walls yet?"

Oh, Arthur. You're so easy.

"We could have a sleep over!" He remembered those!
